Talking to the media in New Delhi, Antony said that India would not be satisfied until Pakistan gives exemplary punishment to Mumbai attackers. The perpetrators of the attack should be brought to book, said Antony.
The defence minister claimed that Indian coastal security is now “vibrant” and “strong” as compared to 2008, when Mumbai attacks occurred.
"Before 26/11, coastal security apparatus was very weak but now we have been able to establish a vibrant and strong coastal security," Antony said.
He further said coordination with other stakeholders involved in coastal security has also improved.

@shiraz: NOTE that NOWHERE in those articles you point to does anything remotely close to your "more than 10,000 (Pakistanis killed)" number exist!!! As for "connections" you refer to, only locations in disputed Kashmir are mentioned in those articles, and none inside Pakistan!
It took a while to conclude that ‘Samjhota Express’ fire was an inside job done by RSS, India, in connivance with a serving colonel. It took a while to know that parliament attacks blamed on Pakistan was actually a false flag operation.
And it will take a while to fully establish and come to the conclusion that Mumbai attack was a well orchestrated false flag operation done to make anti terrorist laws more meaningful and strict. “13/12/2001 (attack on parliament) was followed by PoTA (Prevention of Terrorist Activities Act) and 26/11/2008 (terrorists’ siege of Mumbai) was followed by amendment to the UAPA (Unlawful Activities Prevention Act).”
It also took a while to know that the WMD’s(weapons of mass destruction), the pretext at which US started the Iraq war was all true lies. Everyone is waiting for the ‘Obama gets Osama’ story to unfold and what is the truth behind the war trophy. Some of it is already out thanks to ‘Seymour Hersh’. But truth will come out and will prevail. http://blogs.tribune.com.pk/story/18214/is-india-attacking-its-own-citizens-under-the-umbrella-of-anti-terrorism/
Keep on dreaming,India. Pretty soon it will be the TTP/PTI/JI government in Pakistan.And they don't punish Ghazis doing their job.
@shiraz: If Pakistan really believes in what one person "claims" , then you should believe what Ajmal Kasab "claimed" about your ISI and LeT involvement. Not just that you should also believe in your ex PM Yousuf Gillani and Sherry Rehman accepting the involvement of Pakistanis on Mumbai attack. What the retired general Vijay Kumar claims or Pakistan claims has not been established with any evidence so far. And if Hindu India can incite violence between muslims in Pakistan than what does it say of your dream of "Ummah" and Muslim unity and blah blah. Your arguments are always bunch of contradictions.
@shiraz: Your government has been lying to you all this while and you have been naive enough to get fooled, diverting your attention from their own failures.
Remember a problem can be solved, only when you accept that there is a problem. The question you need to ask yourself is why your government has not raised voice against alleged Indian hand in terrorist attacks. Try to look things dispassionately and truth would emerge out.
I find it difficult to understand that the Pakistani people still feel that the terrorist are hurting India more than they are hurting Pakistan. You don't require a PHD to understand the difference.How naive of these people. May Allah save you.
@numbersnumbers; Google General Vijay Kumar Singh's claims..(Indian Military)
@shiraz: BTW, you somehow (conveniently) neglected to tell us WHERE those "connections proven time and again" of Indian involvement in terrorism are located!
@Shiraz "Since 2008,how many Pakistanis have died in terrorist activities backed by the Indian Establishment(connections proven time and again)-more than 10,000".
My only question to you my friend is that if Indian Establishment is involved in all the terrorist activities in your country then why do you want to have peace talks with them. You should simply crush them. Instead of doing so, your hardliner religious people call them "martyrs". Confused people of confused country.
@Antony..How can pakistan give punishment to its brothers and sister like afiya siddiqui and faisal shahzad,ajmal kasab......ET..if u got guts post it and if not than..u guys are already suffering from ban's and will suffer more whoever try to stop people saying truth.....
Indian media needs to investigate and bring forth the planned operation in which Pakistan was blamed, show faces of the ones responsible instead of hiding the news and warn the world never to take any Indian blame game seriously : Azi
Let Anthony have day dreams about it. Pakistan can never risk any credible action against them, come what may. Not at least in either of their life times, i.e Anthony or Pakistan...
How many people died in Mumbai attacks(in 2008)-168. Since 2008,how many Pakistanis have died in terrorist activities backed by the Indian Establishment(connections proven time and again)-more than 10,000. By keeping this mantra of mumbai attacks,that is how pressure is kept up. Under PPP/PML-N- governments have buckled down time and again. Zia had his faults,but he knew how to keep the Indians 'busy'.
stay strong India and build your capacities further, the pakistani rats are still there, we need to be alert at all times.
For those claiming it to be an inside job, quoting a Indian retired officer, Pakistan's ISI have submitted a detailed written report to Pakistan's government and courts confirming the presence of several training camps in Pakistan where the terrorists planned the mumbai attacks.
The terrorists who attacked Mumbai will not escape punishment and they shall take down Pakistan with them. Had Pakistan been sincere in investigating and punishing the terrorists immediately after the Mumbai attacks they could have saved much of the blowback the terrorists shall bring to Pakistan itself. By promoting conspiracy theories and denials, Pakistan has made the matters worse for them. Now, the terrorists, if they are ever convicted, shall claim Pakistan's own denials and justify their attacks on Pakistan itself. If Pakistan fails to convict the terrorists, India and USA shall not keep quiet and they shall take their own action on the terrorists or on Pakistan which will only be too bad for Pakistan. The more Pakistan' delays the action on terrorists and the more Pakistan keeps on denying, the worser it shall become for Pakistan. If someone can calculate the cost that Pakistan has already paid for its denials and protecting the terrorists, they will realize that the loss they have already suffered is huge.
That's nice - but what's the point in having a big expensive military if your neighbor feels comfortable training "non state actors" to attack you? Unless Pakistan firmly believes that India will have a military response to such attacks "coastal security" doesn't mean all that much. . What do you think the American's would have done in your shoes? I suspect everyone involved in the planning this attack would be dead or sitting in an American jail and Pakistan would either be helping or under military enforced embargo.
